Nintendo Wins Court Case Against ROM Sites

0Shares

About 4 months ago, we reported that Nintendo was taking legal action against ROM sites LoveROMS.com and LoveRETRO.co over illegal distribution of their video games AKA ROMS. Now we have received word that the family which owned these websites have lost the case over “massive copyright and trademark infringement” for a whopping $12 million according to our source.

That is a HUGE amount of money to receive from a husband and wife running those two ROM sites. Apparently, the couple wanted to settle and had discussions with Nintendo to resolve the matter without taking legal action. Let this be a lesson to anyone, DON’T MESS WITH NINTENDO because they don’t play fair.

The weird thing is that the main reason why they are doing this is because of the trickling down of games that they are currently launching on the Switch. I understand that they want to protect their IP’s but it’s only going to go underground. Also, the spread of the roms can not be stopped nor they will be stopped. There’s always the saying, if you see at least 1 roach crawling around, expect 10,000 more hiding within.
